      Consultant II Interview

      Dec 27, 2013
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Simon-Kucher

      Interview

      Applied through campus career services office, accepted for on-campus interview with alumni who works at SKP. Pleasant laid-back interview, mainly focused on clarifying my reasons for wanting to work for them and running through a 10 min case. Called back to final interview day in office. 15 min quantitative test (think SAT/GMAT algebraic word problems) + three interviews with three levels of staff, including partner. Quite confrontational tone in interviews, not very friendly/welcoming. Each interview was 1 hr - mix of fit and case. Questions centered around one or two key issues related to my profile which they wanted to drill down on. Cases very quantitative, very specifically focused on the type of work that SKP does - consumer pricing, B2B pricing, demand generation, increasing revenue. They want to see an ease with numbers, ability to think like a consultant - know what to ask of and say to client.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Unexpected focus on making sure I was comfortable with what they characterized as the at times unpleasant nature of their work (mostly telling clients to raise prices) and making more money for corporations. Struck me as odd that they didn't seem particularly proud or enthusiastic about their work.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Simon-Kucher (Cologne) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      Zunächst Durchführung eines Tests erforderlich, anschließend Einladung zum Interviewtag. Vier Interviews, 1 zu 1 Mittagessen mit einem "Buddy", der nicht in den Interviewprozess miteinbezogen wurde. Der gesamte Interviewprozess war sehr angenehm und die Consultants bei SKP sympathisch.

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Simon-Kucher

      Interview

      Vier Gespräche mit unterschiedlichen Case-Partnern (unterschiedliche Hierarchiestufen). Sehr nette Gespräche, die Berater sind durchweg freundlich und auch inspirierend. Keine Brainteaser. Musste Fremdsprachenkenntnisse praktisch belegen. Es war besonders wichtig, den Partner zu überzeugen. Cases waren breit gefächert, oft musste man auch eine Marktabschätzung als Teil des Cases durchführen (e.g. Markt für OTC-Produkt in Deutschland). Trotzdem waren es durchweg relativ lange Business Cases mit vielen Unterfragen (bis zu 8).
